Anyone doing FET/IVF in Jan 2013 till everyone's BFP (Everyone Welcome)

Thanks Ever.. so have you made any decisions about what to do?


AFM.. I took a peek on a FET calendar to see when I was due, and it said I was already 2 weeks pregnant! :rofl: It took me off guard but I guess I am! :haha:
So my next decision is whether to :test: or not to :test: :shrug: I have always tested in the past, but have had my heart pulled out each time. So I'm afraid to test, but at the same time I want to know as soon as it is possible to know! :dohh: Plus my friends are having a Memorial Day party and I have heard rumors that they are doing fireworks to commemorate my BFP! So I need to test before then! :thumbup:

I dunno what to tell you. Personally I'm NOT a tester, but as you have pointed out in the past, there are some good reasons, other than insatiable curiousity, to test. It's an interesting topic at the moment because my best friend, who is considerably younger than me (33) found herself pregnant about two years ago while she was on the pill. She had only been with her now-husband for a couple of months. Together they embraced the idea of having a baby only to find at their 8 week ultrasound that she had a blighted ovum. Needless to say she was crushed and her "pregnancy innocence" (as i recently heard it referred to as) was stolen. Fast forward to now, she and her hubby have been officially trying for a month. Her period was a day late and she took a test last night. It came up pregnant (a digital brand). This morning her period arrived. Obviously she's not sure what's going on, but you better believe she is cursing herself for taking the test. She kept saying if "I only waited I wouldn't have known and then I wouldn't be having these irrational feelings that I'll never be able to have a baby", because as I'm sure you can imagine that's what is now going through her mind. Anyway...I don't mean to be a downer cuz I know you are bound for a full throttle BFP, but it's just a timely topic in my life right now. Sometimes I feel like us gals with all our issues are dealing with a blessing/curse situation ya know? Sometimes it seems we know too much, and when it's not what we're hoping will happen it's almost too hard to bear...I don't know, I'm rambling a bit. Just feeling sad and unsettled for my pal cuz I hate for her to be down on herself...sigh.

I can understand her being sad and upset, I would be too! If it happens to me that I am pregnant but then a week later it fails, I will be heart broken. Still, I would rather have that information than not. For this cycle I think it is important that I do test so that I know if we are making progress. I've never ever once had a positive on a pregnancy test (other than due to HCG) so to see it turn even for a moment, would be progress to me!
For your friend, while I'm sure she is sad now, and concerned that she can't get pregnant, knowing she was if only for a moment is a clue to her fertility that will help a OB or FS determine what is wrong. So I'm still on the :test: side of things even if it breaks our hearts!

True, true...she's gonna be ok, but she said if there's another "incident" she's heading straight to an RE.

That being said in your case I say "Test Away Sister"!!! Super excited for you!!
 
Woah, I didn't post overnight and there are like 5 new pages!

ever - I'm so sorry to hear that news :hugs: You seem like you're in an okay place but we're all here for you if and when you need us!

flower - awesome news about the new job!

Mo - it seems you got some GREAT information. Best of luck deciding what to do next. I'm sure you and your OH will make the best decision. I think your friend may be onto something with getting DH on those meds and seeing if that improves his sperm.

2girls - I know this is late but welcome the group :flower:

first - congrats on the 2 blastocysts! They look beautiful!! Now just keep busy through the TWW :) Wishing you the best of luck and hoping they stick!

sekky - yay for your appointment! Let us know how it goes!

Em - good luck at your lining check next Wednesday! It's not too far away :)

mercy - so glad you saw a heartbeat :hugs: You must be so relieved!

turkey - good luck for you scan on Tuesday! I hope your LO has grown a lot since last scan!

sandy - countdown is on! 5 more days :happydance: Bet you're so excited! And yes I do have a scan tomorrow, I can't wait to see!

angel - I'm so sorry your beta was negative :hugs:

ali - yay for a GREAT lining :happydance: You're getting so close to ET!

AFM - scan tomorrow.
 
Ash - FX'd for a great scan tomorrow!!!

First - how are you feeling? What is the plan for you and testing :test: although I guess you still have a few more days to go.

Turkey - I'm with Ash, FX'd that your next US shows lots of growth!

Everyone else :flower:

Ali: I'm SOOOO glad that you'll be joining me in PUPO-land soon :happydance: You have been such a support for all of us. It's finally your time!

My 24hrs of bed rest technically ended at noon, but DH woke up at noon (works nights), so I had to stand up and make breakfast or else starve. The rest of the day I spent on the couch, only obsessing about 50% of the time :haha:

I'm 1dp5dt. Is it too early to :test:? :haha: I'll start at 4dp5dt, so that's, um, Monday. Hey, I got my first BFP at 5dp5dt with one embie, so two might show up on 4dp5dt, right?

HEHE.. yes a few days too early to test! I hear that with FET's they are sometimes a little slow to implant? :shrug: I don't think you can test any earlier with 2 blasts versus 1. It is a timing thing, and then a HCG level thing so I'm not sure that you'd see a positive HPT any sooner than 5dp5dt :shrug: Have you heard of others getting a BFP that early? I will have to start searching the boards to find out! :thumbup: I haven't had to look in nearly 5 months :dohh: since my BFN in late Dec. WOW, I can't believe it has taken me that long to get a cycle together! :wacko:
 
Ever and Angel - I'm so sorry.

First - yeah for being PUPO

L4 - glad to hear everything is going well. Looking forward to your appointment update.

Ash - good luck with your next appointment.

Ali - I bet you're counting the days!!!

Everyone I may have missed - hope everything is going well and sending you all positive vibes!!!
 
Anxious how are enjoying your holiday? Any new symptoms?

Thanks for thinking of me! I just arrived Kyoto a few hours ago! Bad weather though so DH and I decided to stay in and catch up on sleep for the rest of the day.

I'm a little worried about my progesterone doses though...I didn't manage to take my morning dose till around 1pm due to the flight. I usually take it around 7am. And I brought 2 pessaries short!!! :cry: Sat morning will be my last one so that means I have to skip Sat night and Sun morning. What should I do??? Should I take my Fri doses later, say 11am and later in the night at 2am, and my last dose on Sat only in the late afternoon?

Can't believe how stupid I was to not count the pessaries properly....
 
Anxious glad you are ok. You can shift your dose around if you can't get a pharmacy to get some to replace them. Hoping it doesn't affect anything.

L4 good luck at your scan next week

Angel sorry for your bfn. Take all the time you need darling and hoping it heals your heart.

Ali that's such great news. Fews day to be PUPO . Bunch of BFP to roll in here in the next few weeks

Edamame how is your mum?

Ash good luck at your follie check. Waiting for an update

Sandy hello, getting close to stimming right?

Mell, lotus, Mo, ever and em thinking of you ladies too

AFM - I also feel blessed with bnb for letting me meet all you amazing ladies who get what am going thru. It's hard for people who didn't travel this road to know how it feels really.

My appointment is in an hour. Hoping I get to start stimming today. Will update you how it goes.

Good Luck at your appt. Sekky!!! Hope you get the go-ahead to get started!!
 
Okay, it's 2dp5dt and I considered testing this morning. Yes, I've gone mad! :wacko: I guess I'm not good with the TWW :/ Or should I say TDW? :haha:
 
2 more days first to wait :) then start but don't expect a line until 6 days. But to feed the poas addiction :)
 
sekky - good luck at your appointment! Let us know if you're okay to start!

anxiously - ahh that is stressful ... I don't know anything about those pessaries but I would do what you think is best. I don't know what form they come in but maybe you can break it in half .... and spread it out over the days you would miss since you're 2 short ....

AFM - Just got back. E2 on Thursday was 230 something so that's looking good, I'll ask what it is after my b/w comes back today. I'm just curious because with my last 2 IVFs when I got to ER my E2 but around 4-5,000 so I wanna see what's going to happen this time. Lining is 10mm and I have a lot of follicles that are measuring around 10-11mm.
 
Anxiously: have you tried going to a pharmacy with your meds and trying to explain the issue? I'm sure they do IVF there too. I sometimes throw in a few tears when attempting such things; they are understood in any language.

Ash: it still sounds like a great cycle for you!

AFM, I feel a bit badly because I was crampy at dinner last night and got onto the subject of DH drinking beer (he has 1-2/night, but some are double alcohol, so it can be like 3-4) and sperm quality. I want him to stop drinking for 2-3 months if we do a fresh cycle. He refuses unless the doctor tells him to. I got upset and pretty much ruined dinner. I know he's really afraid of birth defects; I mentioned them, but didn't really play that card. I told him if I have to go thru the stims, the least he could do was give up beer. A few months could mean a lifetime of parenthood. And sperm quality can effect early m/c. Plus, his motility is borderline. I know; I'm getting aheadof myself. :wacko:
 
Ash if I do another cycle it will be antagonist... Can't wait to see how your turns our :) I respond well like you do to the meds.
 
Hey girls hope every1 is fine? Just wanted to pop bck in and say thanks for all the support through the cycle and at the moment Im 18wks pregnant we find out in 2wks what baby is :-) keep on with your cycles cos dreams do come true x
 
Sekky, good luck today! Hope you get to start shooting up today! :haha:

Anxious, I would try going to a pharmacy to see if they can give you the two doses you need to get you through the trip. I'm sure they could contact your doctor to confirm.

First hang in there. You poas addicts crack me up!! I don't blame you for wanting dh to lay off the drinking I would be the same way. We are going through so much to try to get pregnant and our other halves should be able to try to do their part too. Hope things are better. :hugs:
 
Mo - I think it's so exciting to change protocol, I just hope it works! Obviously I'll let you know how everything turns out :)
 
Thanks ladies. Been back for a while but had to go to the salon to get my hair done.

My first shot of stimm is down. Am on menopur 150iu and suprefact 0.2ml. I go in for e2 and follie check on Wednesday.
